today, my new project is mostly about .. classical music ! PHIL CONNORS : what a SHOCK. I will be programming classical music in the style of Wendy Carlos (Clockwork Orange soundtrack). I programmed the first piece last night, Fantasia in C minor, and it sounded fucking amazing ! Really energetic and trippy ! I'm gonna try more adventurous stuff, and it's gonna be dope ! I can't wait to share it with you people ! |

Oh, when the time comes, I'll need a free site that can host high-quality mp3s without a size limit - anyone know of any they can give me? thanks ! |
||||||||
|

|
|
NO !! stick to horns or electronic music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It WILL be electronic music ! Haven't you heard the Clockwork Orange soundtrack ! This is old-school Electronica ! :P |

i thought that said phil collins at first |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
wait... you are going to program existing classical music, into electronic pieces... or you are writing your own pieces? |
||||||||
|

I hope I never have to quote Phil Collins ! Phil Connors is Bill Murray's character in Groundhog Day. He says that line after Ned Ryerson informs that he sells life insurance ! Honest, this project is good ! I'm very excited about it, and I'm taking lots of my old piano sheet music home with me to work on it ! :D bYe bYe for now ! |

well, that's the thing - I aim to start with existing classical pieces, to get the feel for it. I have, of course, my own piano compositions that I've penned over the years, so I may see how one of those sounds programmed in. In the end, I hope to write an Electronic Symphony. But shit, that will take a LOT of planning, minute detailing and more experience than I have so far. So, I'll program progressively complex pieces 'til I get the knack of it ! (To those who downloaded my Satie stuff, that pales into insignificance !) |

pretty cool man a few months ago, I did a reworking of a John Cage prepared piano piece, made it into a downtempo IDM track. I never finalized it, but it was pretty sweet. It was like John Cage was meant to write IDM, cause it translated realllly well. |

Cool, sounds nice Marlowe. Use loads of old analogue string sounds, they sound lovely :) If it's possible, try to record some electronic instruments in a real concert hall to get the genuine acoustics and reverb. Probably a bit impractical, but there's nowt wrong with a bit of ambition, lad. |
||||||||

|
|
you should let me put some beats under it man |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe manic, much as I'd love the opportunity to record the acoustics in a concert hall, I don't have a microphone or a DAT recorder or anything like that :) Thanks for the suggestion tho - looks like it's gonna have to be electronically created ambience and reverb. :) Zeus - is this Cage piece you transcribed, online anywhere? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
what kind of beats did you have in mind? I was thinking of making it entirely retro electronic, and I'm using only an anaglogue synthesizer simulator. I would really like the kind of percussion used in the Clockwork Orange soundtrack. I think that's just real percussion Effexed up. |

you could host them at www.mp3.com.au - no size limit, no limit on how many tracks. only limit is, 128k mp3's max. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah, like I said, I never finalized it. It kind of fell to the bottom of my priority list, cause I had lots of school work at the time. Maybe ill give it another go, now that I got the time... |
||||||||
|

Ah, well, it was a nice idea :) Electronic reverb is good enough though. Just try to create that big, concert hall sound if possible. Then again, the tracks might sound even more interesting without reverb - who knows? Experiment! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Yeah, I was experimenting with the reverb last night - actually sounded good with either ! In more complex tracks, I'll go for some Dynamic Knob Twiddling (D.K.T.) - this Fantasia in C minor was only 4 pages long - but WHAT a 4 pages ! Thanks for the suggestion Alex, but I was wanting the mp3s to be 256kps :) Zeus, you should definately work some more on the track - it's always good working with 'classical' (and its progeny) music to study construction and all the rest of that stuff - I've always found Bach especially rewarding to study. |

yeah, Bach is the man. Ive taken 2 counterpoint classes, which are basically just "lets study bach" classes. Im taking advanced counterpoint in the fall (4 part fugues!) It really is a different way of thinking... and I respect Bach so much more now, seeing all the crazy stuff thats in his work. |

mm. I know of a friend who could maybeee host them.. he comes on here sometimes, FatherClem. you'd have to upload your tracks to his ftp and he can put them online. he had plans about stuff like this, don't know if he still would like to. he's on vacation for a weeks, so I can't ask him now. could do so when he returns and you still would like to. :) |

Bach is simply incredible - I've studied counterpoint some, and of course, he is the zenith of counterpoint construction. When I first studied it, I didn't realise there were so many rules in counterpoint writing! I didn't like that restriction of freedom much, but I guess you have to know the rules well in order to transcend them. Alex, that sounds pretty cool - I won't be done for ages yet - last night, I attempted to start Beethoven's Piano Sonata no. 1 in F minor - WHAT a nightmare - I'm still going to have to continue with less complex pieces for a while yet ! :D |

okay Paul. he'll be back in a few weeks, I'll ask him. |
